MEET THE $1.5MILLIONUSD DOG!

The 11-month-old, 180-pound pup, aptly named “Hong Dong,” meaning “Big Splash” in Chinese, (pictured above) has become the most expensive dog on the planet after a wealthy coal industrialist from China recently procured him for a little more than $1.5 million. Big Splash beats out fellow Tibetan Mastiff, Yangtze River Number Two, who sold for nearly $609,000 in 2009.
